QUESTION NO 03:

IF they were not effectiveness, who is the blame?

ANSWER:
Dr aftab Ahmad has maintained an oppressive style of management over the year. Though he is
very honest and hardworking person, yet he believes that the board should not waste time
deliberating on matters that he has already decided on. He expect loyalty from the board member
which in his terms mean agreeing to whatever he proposes. He has therefore been very selective
in his choice of directors, not allowed any one any attitude different from him, the natural power
that he enjoys as the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of the company and generally
a very influential person in the city prevents all the directors from any attempts to differ from
him at the board meetings

Though he has been able to successfully run the company and achieve growth over last two
decades, but his democratic style has often resulted in biased decisions that were the inimical for
the company. His refusal to accept that contradictions and dissimilar views and attitudes are
good to generate entrepreneurial spirit among the manages has meant that no worthwhile
suggestion for improving the company has ever come from the board, he alone has to do all the
thinking and planning for the company So as the result the company not improve due to the
controversial behavior The other is poor financial controls .convergence of all financial powers
in the hands of just two persons, the chairman and his younger brother, Mahtab Ahmad and the
company s director finance This is a big company in health care and yet it has no female
representation on the board and senior management (Parvez pasha GM,).
